Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I run a not-for-profit coffee shop, distributing the highest quality coffee whilst developing deep and meaningful relationships in order to love and serve others better.

Any where in Africa: Uganda, Ethiopia, Egypt, Rwanda, Sudan, and South Africa. Misc: Israel, Costa Rica, Budapest, Poland, Scotland. U.S: Oregon, New York, Illinois, Washington.

Many of these places I've been to I just don't get to them very often but love when I do.
About Me:
My name is Jonathan Morrison, I am a full time student and a barista. I am studying Philosophy of Religion and hope to garner by Doctorate. My plan is to open a coffee shop here in Salt Lake City that would focus on music, art, and philosophy while at the same time increasing the level of coffee quality Utahns are used to. In a market that doesn't support our industry because of a people group who see coffee as a sin its more important than anywhere I believe to constantly have the edge.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The coffee,the smell, the enviroment, the people, the process.

    Well, i started espresso a few years ago. I got really highly trained in two eight hour sessions twice a year for 2 years. I worked at a cafe and a couple really popular drive thru stands. And now im helping open up a new stand in my home town and I get to train all the baristas and what not. I also just switched to completely organic beans for the shop! Yay!


    Whats your story home boy
